Empress' Marshal's Concubine

In the harem for many years, I haven't seen any kind of person, and I don't know what kind of means.

Naturally, Wang Xi could see the flaws in the small kitchen of Zang Yuxuan at a glance. Wang Xi walked round and round in the small kitchen with his hands behind his back. There are some fresh wear marks on the grids of the bowls and chopsticks, which are a little different from the original color of the mahogany cabinet, and are newly added.

Wang Xi shook off the floating dust in his arms, and called his apprentice Xiao Lezi.

"Master?" Xiao Lezi was a 12-year-old eunuch, wearing the same black robe as other eunuchs, with his head bowed.

"Take out the bowls and chopsticks from this grid." Wang Xi put the floating dust that he was holding on the back of his neck, rolled up his wide sleeves, and rolled the sleeves up to his elbows.

Xiao Lezi quickly followed what Wang Xi said, and within a short time, he moved all the bowls and chopsticks out of the grid, and placed them on the row of vegetable cutting tables not far away against the wall.

Wang Xi saw that the things in the bowls and chopsticks grids in the cabinet had been emptied.

Stretching in the arm with the rolled up sleeve, he groped back and forth at the place with the new abrasion.

After touching it a few times, I felt something was wrong.

Where there are new wear marks, there is a very hidden small wooden edge. If you don't touch it carefully, you won't notice it at all.

If Wang Xi didn't know that the things in this palace are all finely crafted, he would really think that the carpenters were careless.

Wang Xi pushed hard with his fingers in the direction of the inside of the cabinet. With a little force, a wooden board was pushed away with a creaking sound.

Wang Xi didn't dare to be careless, so he asked Xiao Lezi to bring over a candle and light it, and shined a light on the hidden compartment in the cabinet.

I didn't see anything, so I stretched my hand in again with peace of mind. Inside the secret compartment, the secret compartment was not big, only the size of an adult's palm.

Wang Xi buckled the contents inside and took it out. It was a wooden water ladle.

Wang Xi knew that this should be the second ladle that should not have existed in the water tank that Concubine Ning mentioned just now.

But what's wrong with this water scoop?

As for hiding it so carefully in the cabinet with the dishes in the kitchen?

And deliberately made such a hidden compartment that is not easy to be found?

More importantly, who could tamper with Concubine Ning's Concubine Yuxuan without anyone noticing?

This palace has changed several groups of people back and forth...

Was this secret compartment made in the past, or is it made now?

Wang Xi turned around and looked at the ladle in his hand, it looked no different from the ladle used in the palace.

There must be something tricky in this water ladle...

But where is the problem?

Wang Xi touched the ladle carefully with his hand.

Just sent braised wax gourd to Wu Zetian in the dormitory and went back to the small kitchen, seeing Wang Xi's apprentice Xiao Lezi besides Wang Xi in the small kitchen, he knew that Wang Xi must have discovered something. Wang Xi didn't know what he was thinking.

Walking to Wang Xi's side, he said, "What is Manager Wang looking at?"

"Your Majesty, this slave is looking at this water ladle." Wang Xi is a person who knows people well. He has been in the harem all these years, and he knows very well that the person in front of him may be the real master of the harem in the future.

"Boss Wang doesn't need to be too polite. What's the point of this water ladle?" Ye Qingruo said as he reached out to take the water ladle from Wang Xi's hand.

Wang Xi took the ladle and dodged back, avoiding it.

There is something wrong with this water ladle, and I am a slave, so I should be responsible for some accident, but this Concubine Ning is the one my master cares about now, if something goes wrong, I cannot bear the responsibility for that.

"Bring it here." Ye Qingruo still had a gentle look on her face, but there was a little impatience in her eyes.

Ye Qingruo also knew that Wang Xi was a caring servant by Wu Zetian's side, and the most important ministers outside Wu Zetian may not be as trustworthy as Wang Xi.

But that doesn't mean she has no temper and no bottom line.

She has already spoken to Wang Xi in a good-tempered manner, and she has already given enough face to be so polite. If Wang Xi still doesn't know the truth, then she won't say anything. After all, she has not yet established a firm foothold in the palace, and everything Let it go, but that doesn't mean that she has let it go on the surface, and she won't do anything secretly.She doesn't fight or grab, but she can ask Wu Zetian to help her.

Now that she has decided to be a favorite concubine, she must grasp Wu Zetian's heart, not for love, not for love, but just to live in this harem, and to live well.

She will not deliberately fight for something for her mother's family in this body, but after all, the family members in her current body, at least she can't implicate them in suffering because of herself.

What's more, among the women in the harem, there is no power behind her, except for Concubine Shu, Di Renjie's younger sister, even if she has never appeared in history.

Relying on Di Renjie's loyalty to Wu Zetian, she would not believe that even if she was killed, Di Renjie was so resourceful and dared to speak out, he would send his own sister to the palace in order to earn his own wealth and glory. Things to please Wu Zetian.

In addition, Concubine Shu is in charge of Wu Zetian's harem, Ye Qingruo thinks that Concubine Shu Di Lewu is not Wu Zetian's concubine, but Wu Zetian's housekeeper.

Wang Xi hesitated for a moment, "Your Majesty, I don't know if this thing is dangerous, so let the servants confirm it, and give it to your Majesty!"

"My lord, you are someone close to His Majesty. I have no control over you." Ye Qingruo smiled gently.Staring at Wang Xi with two eyes, Wang Xi broke out in a cold sweat.

Concubine Ning seemed to be a different person since she woke up. Although she was fierce and arrogant before, she was completely different from this person now.

The former Concubine Ning made people feel no danger at all, but this Concubine Ning in front of her was the same face as before, and her aura became so cold and stern that people couldn't figure it out.

He looks kind and approachable, but under this gentle smile, there is a gloomy coldness.

Unlike His Majesty's cruelty that everyone can see, Concubine Ning is the type to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger!

Your Majesty, have you seen through Concubine Ning?

Wang Xi finally handed the ladle to Ye Qingruo.

Ye Qingruo smiled in satisfaction, as gentle as a spring breeze, watching Wang Xi shivering all over in the steaming small kitchen, looking at the smile on Concubine Ning's face with cold hands and feet, an ominous feeling Straight to the heart.

Ye Qingruo stared at the water scoop in her hand, but she couldn't see anything, and then tried to make a motion to hold water.

Didn't find anything different either.

Ye Qingruo picked up the ladle on the lid of the water tank again, and weighed the two ladles.

The water ladle in my hand is a little lighter...

Ye Qingruo put back the ladle that was originally on the lid of the water tank, Ye Qingruo frowned and bit her lip, and did the action of scooping water with the ladle again.

The thumb rubbed forward unconsciously, and the small sound of rubbing made Ye Qingruo's eyes tremble.

I saw that the handle of the water ladle was missing a piece, and some light yellow powder was spilled out from the handle of the water ladle that was pushed down, and fell on the ground, and the bluestone on the ground was slightly corroded...

Wang Xi didn't care about etiquette, snatched the water ladle from Ye Qingruo, and called Xiao Lezi who was stunned beside him, "You son of a bitch, why are you so dazed? Why don't you clean up this place quickly?"

Xiao Lezi nodded stiffly, ran out to find a rag and a brush, lay down on the ground and carefully sprinkled clean water on the bluestone ground corroded by the light yellow powder just now, brushed carefully with a brush with one hand, and Wipe it clean with a rag in hand, for fear of leaving a little light yellow powder that can corrode even the bluestone floor.

"Boss Wang, don't tell Your Majesty about this, let Your Majesty have a good meal." If Ye Qing saw such a scene, she was calm.Turning back to the stove, bending down, regardless of the white skirt she was wearing, she filled some firewood into the stove.

"Your Majesty, tell Your Majesty about this! Otherwise, you..." Wang Xi grinned, feeling very dizzy!

It can be seen that someone has intentions, either to kill Concubine Ning, or to use Concubine Ning's hands to kill His Majesty!

Why don't you tell His Majesty that something so serious has happened?

If His Majesty finds out...

Even a few lives are not enough to die!

Concubine Ning is calm, she still has the mind to cook...

Is it a blessing or a curse for such a woman to stay with His Majesty?

Looking at Ye Qingruo who is so calm and self-sufficient, Wang Xi kind of saw the time when Wu Zetian was poisoned by Concubine Xiao Shu.

Wu Zetian clearly knew that the tonic sent by Concubine Xiao Shu was poisonous, but she ate it without any hesitation, and then went to see the then emperor Li Zhi with her body that was already suffering from poison, and was poisoned in front of Li Zhi.

It was only then that Li Zhi ordered a strict investigation, and also asked Zheng Qing of Dali Temple to intervene in this matter.

Even Wu Zetian, who has been poisoned, never said that she was poisoned by drinking the tonic sent by Concubine Xiao Shu, but kept saying that it must be a misunderstanding, because she was greedy and accidentally ate. That's why.

The Zhengqing of Dali Temple found out that the half bowl of tonic that Wu Zetian ate and sent by Concubine Xiao Shu was poisonous. The relationship between Zizi himself and Concubine Xiao Shufei has always been very good.

What's more, Concubine Xiao Shu sent her supplements because she saw that she had worked too hard with Wang Banjia, and felt sorry for herself, out of kindness.

The more Wu Zetian said so, the more angry Emperor Li Zhi was.

Later, Concubine Xiao Shu's close maid took the blame for this incident, saying that she saw that Wu Zetian had been a special favor since she returned to the palace, so she was not fair for her master, so she wanted to take advantage of her mother to let her give Wu Zetian supplements chance of being poisoned.

But after that, Wu Zetian's virtuous, kind, gentle and gentle image was established in Li Zhi's heart, and it became an important cornerstone for Wu Zetian to become queen and participate in politics.
